Since Chalkbeat Chicago began publishing in June, we've published 201 — yes, 201! — stories about public education in Chicago. What you'll find below is a list of the 10 stories that were most popular among our readers, from a principal’s first-person column on personalized learning to a profile of a teen struggling to read.

Meanwhile, the Chalkbeat network has reached several milestones of its own. Chicago wasn't the only bureau to open this year: We now have local-first coverage in Newark, and we kicked off our first multi-city Listening Tour this summer.

We round up Chicago education news in our newsletter every week — just for you. Please send any tips or story ideas our way: chicago.tips@chalkbeat.org. And support local journalism! Sign up for our newsletter, here, and share it with a friend. One more reminder: Chalkbeat Chicago is regularly live-tweeting events and meetings on Twitter. Follow us @ChalkbeatCHI, @cassiechicago, @public_ade, and @yanazure.
